What sort of thing is this, a woman from a humble family, even if being ennobled as a Commandery Princess, still doesn’t understand how she obtained this position of Commandery Princess...
Yun Jinnian simply looked on calmly, not speaking unless absolutely necessary.
Chu Yu seemed about to speak several times, only to stop himself.
It was only then that the Princess of the First Rank gestured to Nanny Song, who immediately went down and soon came back holding a brocade box.
Yun Jinnian stood up, "Princess!"
"This is a token of my gratitude for you, firstly for saving me back then and secondly for saving Little Five!"
The Princess of the First Rank said as she received the brocade box and stood up to walk towards Yun Jinnian.
"Princess, you have already bestowed many gifts upon your servant’s daughter, to give more, your servant’s daughter dare not accept!"
Especially since she already knew the Princess of the First Rank intended to give her two five-entry mansions and a small mountain, all of which were already surrounded by encircling walls.
Yun Jinnian felt the gift was somewhat hot to handle.
"Good child, you are sensible. I know that with these two mansions and that small mountain, you will put them to good use. It’s always said, ’One mustn’t refuse a senior’s generosity.’ Today I give this to you, you must accept!" the Princess of the First Rank said as she took Yun Jinnian’s hand and placed the brocade box in it.
"Originally, these property deeds should have reached your hands last year, but since you left the Capital, it has been delayed!"
Yun Jinnian pursed her lips and accepted the brocade box, "Thank you, Princess, your servant’s daughter will always remember the Princess’s teachings!"
When the new year begins, she would tear down the houses and divide them into separate courtyards to grow medicinal herbs.
With the medicinal herbs, she could heal even more people in the future.
To accumulate blessings for Momo!
The Princess of the First Rank patted Yun Jinnian’s hand, smiling contentedly.
She then turned around and sat down on the Arhat bed, still smiling.
Qu Mianke clenched her fists.
She had heard people say that the aunt had prepared two five-entry mansions and a small mountain as a thank-you gift for Princess Yijia, and had thought it was just a rumor, but it turned out to be true.
In the inner city of the Capital, where land was worth its weight in gold, two five-entry mansions and a small mountain, how much Silver would that be?
And the Emperor had also bestowed the Princess Residence...
Yun Jinnian was probably going to be the wealthiest unmarried girl in the Capital overnight.
Chu Yu said with a smile, "Since my aunt and imperial brother have given their tokens of gratitude, this prince must also express something!"
Prince Yanjun smiled warmly, "Indeed, cousin, but the Emperor has been quite generous and mother’s gifts are not lacking either. You mustn’t outdo our mother and the Emperor, must you?"
"Look at what my cousin is saying, as for what token of gratitude to give, I haven’t decided yet, there’s no rush!"
The Princess of the First Rank started laughing, "You all, stop bickering, Jinnian as a doctor, what she lacks most is medicinal herbs. Ayu, if you truly want to thank Jinnian for saving your life, then gift her medicinal herbs. The more the better, let Jinnian develop more elixirs to heal those in need. That truly would be a great deed benefiting the people!"
"Auntie makes a good point, I know what to present!"
Yun Jinnian stood up, gave a slight bow to Chu Yu, "Then your servant’s daughter thanks Prince Ayu in advance for the medicinal herbs!"
With this light-hearted banter, the atmosphere grew lively.
Qu Mianke watched, feeling somewhat displeased.
How could Princess Yijia have such a thick skin? Not even a hint of decline, simply accepting it outright.
She had accompanied her cousin to Nanjiang back then, spending a long time back and forth together. She wouldn’t have developed feelings for her cousin, would she?
At that thought, Qu Mianke grew even more restless!
As they chatted, it was soon midday, and the Princess of the First Rank naturally wanted to keep Yun Jinnian for lunch.
Yuwen Ming, graceful as ever, approached, "Grandmother, uncle, cousin-uncle, cousin-aunt, Sister Jinnian, lunch is ready, let’s go!"
